What I want to know is if somebody is investigating whether or not CBC violated its journalistic policy by putting that bloodied protester in the studio in the first place. It would seem to me that the putting a bloodied protestor on air would be considered “the presentation of violence” and it seems clear to me that he was put on the air in the state he was for “shock effect”.

According to the CBC’s policy:
“In all cases, the presentation of violence should be warranted and should not be undertaken for shock effect or for trivial reasons.”
